Where the 48 hours comes from
Two rules set it. You need at least 2 separate UTC trading days, and at least 10 trades. Open an account late on a Monday, trade it on Monday and Tuesday, hit +30% with everything sold, and you have met every condition. That is the floor, and it is a floor rather than a target.
Why most people take longer
Because +30% with a 30% trailing loss line is hard, and because the 60% consistency rule quietly adds days. If your first day makes +7.5 SOL on a 25 SOL account, you have hit the target but that day is 100% of your profit, so you cannot pass until other days bring its share to 60% or less. One very good day often means several more days of trading, not fewer.
What a slower pass costs
One extra monthly fee per extra month, and nothing else. $50, $90 or $160 by size. No reset fee exists, so even a failed attempt costs only the month it happened in, and your next renewal opens a fresh challenge.
The honest distribution
We do not publish a pass rate, and any firm quoting a precise one is guessing. What we will say is that most attempts fail, that the fastest passes tend to come from traders who already traded memecoins profitably at small size, and that the floor of 48 hours describes what the rules permit rather than what usually happens.
Should you try to be fast?
Only if the market is offering something. The one genuine advantage of speed is fewer monthly fees, which is $50 a month on the smallest account. The cost of chasing it is forcing trades, and a forced trade on a memecoin is how the loss line gets touched. With no deadline against you, the arithmetic favours waiting.
Questions people ask
Can I pass in one day?
No. Two separate UTC trading days is a hard minimum, so 48 hours is the floor.
Do the two days have to be consecutive?
No. Any two UTC days with at least one trade each.
Does the clock start when I pay?
There is no clock. The account opens when the payment clears and stays open while the subscription runs.
